A court has ruled that the government's authoritarian ban on Palestine Action was unlawful.
Time to stop criminalising the people protesting a genocide - and start ending the UK's complicity.

Filmed over four years across kitchen tables, protests and public meetings, this documentary follows a city fighting for itself as a broken property market chews up its citizens for profit. Rooted in Dublin, it reveals global forces reshaping cities, where homes are assets and people are obstacles.

Afternoon. Added a few issues of Graphic to the archive. A very groovy mag, out of Dublin (I think) in the late 80s early 90s. Am missing a few issues, (3, 5 9, 10, not certain there were any more issues after 11) if anyone has them. See them at oldzinescene.com for free!

This is absolutely insane. The sort of Kafka-esque nightmare you would find in a Philip K Dick book set far in the dystopian future. A window on America tumbling into autocracy.

The new 'highly transmissible' COVID-19 variant: what Aussies need to know
NB.1.8.1, an Omicron sub-lineage, is now widespread across Australia. It is highly transmissible, spreads faster than earlier Omicron variants, has a shorter incubation period, and causes a sharp, stabbing sore throat early.

Now I remember, I didn't need a python script in the end, you can download your vimeo account using yt-dlp. However, if you have private/unlisted videos, you will need to log in and export cookies.txt (using a cookies export browser extension). Not great for ppl avoiding age ID bullshit. Soz.
I emailed @vimeo.com, apparently age verification is across the EU now. I didn't realise.
My response to this is to ask them to delete my account and all data associated with it.
Before Xmas I made a Python script that downloads all the videos in your vimeo account. I'll share this later.
